* Merge branch 'bkl-removal' of git://git.lwn.net/linux-2.6Linus Torvalds2009-03-26
|\ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * 'bkl-removal' of git://git.lwn.net/linux-2.6: Rationalize fasync return values Move FASYNC bit handling to f_op->fasync() Use f_lock to protect f_flags Rename struct file->f_ep_lock
| * Move FASYNC bit handling to f_op->fasync()Jonathan Corbet2009-03-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Removing the BKL from FASYNC handling ran into the challenge of keeping the setting of the FASYNC bit in filp->f_flags atomic with regard to calls to the underlying fasync() function. Andi Kleen suggested moving the handling of that bit into fasync(); this patch does exactly that. As a result, we have a couple of internal API changes: fasync() must now manage the FASYNC bit, and it will be called without the BKL held. As it happens, every fasync() implementation in the kernel with one exception calls fasync_helper(). So, if we make fasync_helper() set the FASYNC bit, we can avoid making any changes to the other fasync() functions - as long as those functions, themselves, have proper locking. Most fasync() implementations do nothing but call fasync_helper() - which has its own lock - so they are easily verified as correct. The BKL had already been pushed down into the rest. The networking code has its own version of fasync_helper(), so that code has been augmented with explicit FASYNC bit handling.

| | * | dynamic debug: combine dprintk and dynamic printkJason Baron2009-03-24

The new feature of this patchset is a richer /debugfs control file interface, (an example output from my system is at the bottom), which allows fined grained control over the the debug output. The output can be controlled by function, file, module, format string, and line number. for example, enabled all debug messages in module 'nf_conntrack': echo -n 'module nf_conntrack +p' > /mnt/debugfs/dynamic_debug/control to disable them: echo -n 'module nf_conntrack -p' > /mnt/debugfs/dynamic_debug/control A further explanation can be found in the documentation patch.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | dpm_list currently relies on the fact that child devices will be registered after their parents to get a correct suspend order. Using device_move() however destroys this assumption, as an already registered device may be moved under a newly registered one. This patch adds a new argument to device_move(), allowing callers to specify how dpm_list should be adapted.

We can fix any races with rpc_make_runnable() by ensuring that we only clear the RPC_TASK_RUNNING flag while holding the rpc_wait_queue->lock that the task is supposed to be sleeping on (and then checking whether or not the task really is sleeping).

If an interface with invalid ethernet address (all zero) is added to a bridge, then bridge code detects it when setting up the forward databas entry. But the error unwind is broken, the bridge port object can get freed twice: once when ref count went to zeo, and once by kfree. Since object is never really accessible, just free it.

These two should be permitted, but the IPv4 conflict code checks the ipv6only bit as part of the test. Since binding to an explicit IPv6 address restricts the socket to only that IPv6 address, the side-effect is that the socket behaves as v6-only. By explicitely setting ipv6only in this case, allows the 2 binds to succeed. Signed-off-by: Vlad Yasevich <vladislav.yasevich@hp.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

This flag can be used by unicast and broadcast listeners to avoid receiving ENOBUFS errors. Generally speaking, ENOBUFS errors are useful to notify two things to the listener: a) You may increase the receiver buffer size via setsockopt(). b) You have lost messages, you may be out of sync. In some cases, ignoring ENOBUFS errors can be useful. For example: a) nfnetlink_queue: this subsystem does not have any sort of resync method and you can decide to ignore ENOBUFS once you have set a given buffer size. b) ctnetlink: you can use this together with the socket flag NETLINK_BROADCAST_SEND_ERROR to stop getting ENOBUFS errors as you do not need to resync (packets whose event are not delivered are drop to provide reliable logging and state-synchronization). Moreover, the use of NETLINK_NO_ENOBUFS also reduces a "go up, go down" effect in terms of performance which is due to the netlink congestion control when the listener cannot back off. The effect is the following: 1) throughput rate goes up and netlink messages are inserted in the receiver buffer. 2) Then, netlink buffer fills and overruns (set on nlk->state bit 0). 3) While the listener empties the receiver buffer, netlink keeps dropping messages. Thus, throughput goes dramatically down. 4) Then, once the listener has emptied the buffer (nlk->state bit 0 is set off), goto step 1. This effect is easy to trigger with netlink broadcast under heavy load, and it is more noticeable when using a big receiver buffer. You can find some results in [1] that show this problem. [1] http://1984.lsi.us.es/linux/netlink/ This patch also includes the use of sk_drop to account the number of netlink messages drop due to overrun. This value is shown in /proc/net/netlink.

In DOS situation, RCU might accumulate about 10.000 elements per CPU in its internal queues. To get accurate conntrack counts (at the expense of slightly more RAM used), we might consider conntrack counter not taking into account "about to be freed elements, waiting in RCU queues". We thus decrement it in nf_conntrack_free(), not in the RCU callback.

It can be used to change the logger to module that can not use the bind operation (ipt_LOG and ipt_ULOG). For this purpose, it creates a directory /proc/sys/net/netfilter/nf_log which contains a file per-protocol. The content of the file is the name current logger (NONE if not set) and a logger can be setup by simply echoing its name to the file. By echoing "NONE" to a /proc/sys/net/netfilter/nf_log/PROTO file, the logger corresponding to this PROTO is set to NULL.

This match can be used to deploy gateway and back-end load-sharing clusters. The cluster can be composed of 32 nodes maximum (although I have only tested this with two nodes, so I cannot tell what is the real scalability limit of this solution in terms of cluster nodes). Assuming that all the nodes see all packets (see below for an example on how to do that if your switch does not allow this), the cluster match decides if this node has to handle a packet given: (jhash(source IP) % total_nodes) & node_mask For related connections, the master conntrack is used. The following is an example of its use to deploy a gateway cluster composed of two nodes (where this is the node 1): iptables -I PREROUTING -t mangle -i eth1 -m cluster \ --cluster-total-nodes 2 --cluster-local-node 1 \ --cluster-proc-name eth1 -j MARK --set-mark 0xffff iptables -A PREROUTING -t mangle -i eth1 \ -m mark ! --mark 0xffff -j DROP iptables -A PREROUTING -t mangle -i eth2 -m cluster \ --cluster-total-nodes 2 --cluster-local-node 1 \ --cluster-proc-name eth2 -j MARK --set-mark 0xffff iptables -A PREROUTING -t mangle -i eth2 \ -m mark ! --mark 0xffff -j DROP And the following commands to make all nodes see the same packets: ip maddr add 01:00:5e:00:01:01 dev eth1 ip maddr add 01:00:5e:00:01:02 dev eth2 arptables -I OUTPUT -o eth1 --h-length 6 \ -j mangle --mangle-mac-s 01:00:5e:00:01:01 arptables -I INPUT -i eth1 --h-length 6 \ --destination-mac 01:00:5e:00:01:01 \ -j mangle --mangle-mac-d 00:zz:yy:xx:5a:27 arptables -I OUTPUT -o eth2 --h-length 6 \ -j mangle --mangle-mac-s 01:00:5e:00:01:02 arptables -I INPUT -i eth2 --h-length 6 \ --destination-mac 01:00:5e:00:01:02 \ -j mangle --mangle-mac-d 00:zz:yy:xx:5a:27 In the case of TCP connections, pickup facility has to be disabled to avoid marking TCP ACK packets coming in the reply direction as valid. echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_tcp_loose BTW, some final notes: * This match mangles the skbuff pkt_type in case that it detects PACKET_MULTICAST for a non-multicast address.
